SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. At this time of year, when people are returning from their country excursions, to recommence the season of their London business, their first question to any friend whom they see coming out of a clubhouse, is commonly, " What think you of the state of politics !" Now, this question is one which the London friend, with all the lights of his club, finds it mighty difficult to answer. For, among the various curses which an unprincipled Government brings on a country, one, and not the least, is the pleague of darkness. No man, in these unsettled days, can see 12 hours before him. No man can tell, on any - given question, what the Mi nisters will do. Be it the maintenance of.the Sovereign's pen sion list, be it the vindication of a Governor's ordinances, be it an enactment of Tithe appropriation, their declarations are faithles., and their practices inscrutable. Yet we know as much of their policy as they know themselves, and no man can know les: of anything. One only calcu lation we can make with certainty—that they will not re sign. The point of honour, banished from every other quarter of their councils, has taken refuge stiffly there. No surrender ! You may expose us—we will bear it. You may defeat us—we will confess it. You may disgrace us— we will overlook it. You may convict us of evasion, equi vocation, breach of promise, pusillanimity—no m a tter, the shabby Administration will never resign. Well, but, say the people from the country, does it rest with the shabby Administration to choose its own fate ? We are just come up from the south, and everybody in those parts is saying " These men must go," Our friends from the east are in the like story ; and from the north, and from the west, the Ittilroads bring the same cry. Yes, they must go, because the worm of decay is in them—but it may be Christmas or Easter, January or April, for any thing that the wisest water-doctor of the land can prognosticate. Like an old, condemned building, they nod - to their fall ; but whether the winds of the winter or the storms of the spring equinox are to bring down the rotten pile, the new almanacks omit to specify, and history, the old one, has nothing parallel that we can judge from. Present, past, future—Canada, the appropriation, the ballot—Lord Durham and their friendships—Lord Brougham and their vamities—O'Connell in tears, stirring Ireland into flames— the trampling scorn of the Radicals—the growing strength of the Conservatives—the general registration, which has set its handwriting upon the wall ;—against all these ac cumulations of difficulty, danger, disgrace, rashness, mean ness, public distrust, public hAred, public contempt— against the memory of pledges forfeited, of promises broken; . . of attachments betrayed—against the efforts of a Christian people and the prayers of a Christian Church—against all these blasts of condemnation, we do not believe that even " the demon whom they still have served" can save them. One possibility indeed there is, which might, for a little, protract their day of doom—the possibility, that some well-meaning, but too anxious and eager Conservatives may rashly endeavour to hurry on the fall of these foes to the constitution and religion of their country. All impatience on the part of the Conservatives is a diversion in favour of their enemies. Conscious that themselves seek only office, the Whigs miss no pretence which may be given them for charging the same unworthiness upon the Conservatives ; not considering (or affecting not to consider) that the Con servatives are nineteen twentieths of all the gentlemen in England —men as remote from any vision of office as the wild horse from coveting the packsaddle. What they want is not to get themselves in, but to get the Whigs out— to expel the spoiler, not to seize the spoil. But still we say, be patient. No doubt the usurpation seems a long one ; if it did not, your patience would have no trial. You must be content to hear it said a little longer that the pear is not ripe. You cannot shake it off the tree ; you must let it rot off. There is no other way. See what for- bearance has done for you already ; how it has trebled your numbers in Parliament, and rallied round you the good feelings of the people, who, while — they thought your object was place, suspected you ; but who confide in you and act with you, now that they see the moderation of your leaders. William IV. made one false step ; we are beginning to re cover from it. Let us not ourselves commit another ; a second failure might be irredeemable. No doubt, if a Conservative Administration were installed to-morrow, a general election would give it a majority in the House of -Commons. But the %ery fact of the onservatives — he'ng in office would unite against them a host of malcontents, who are now embroiled with one another. There would be the old fear of the Tories, the great hobgoblins, and the old cry for laying aside all minor differences, to fight time common enemy. Brigands, who, if you do but let them alone to work cut their present quarrels, will cut each other's throats without your stir, will turn round and join together to cut your's, if you move prematurely. Wait a little longer, and their differences will have become too fierce for composition. The wounds of deadly hate will have grown too wide and too rigid to be closed. Time and forbearance, which in politics are " tired nature's best re storers," will have shown two truths, both important to be understood—that the Conservatives of the present day have got rid of what was distasteful and unwholesome in the leaven of the Toryism of the last century, and that the mongrel revolutionists of Queen Victoria's reign are as un like the constitutional Whigs who enthroned King William as Papists are remote from Protestants, and jobbers from statesmen. It is of no avail to take office unless you have a fair prospect of keeping it ; for it is only by keeping it, by en abling yourselves to follow out a permanent policy, that you can do your country those real services for the sake of which a good man should desire power. But to make your power permanent, the force of your adversaries must be not merely checked, or even routed, but abso lutely extinguished. There must be no party or parties left in Parliament wbo, by an unprincipled combination, can override a Conservative Ministry. Government must be restored to the power of governing, and not be left, as Radicalism loves to see it, to o wea to maintain the Con stitution against the pressure of the Revolutionists. Im provement (for the word " Reform" has been hacked and prostituted till its meaning has become as equivocal as its character), substantial sound improvement, must he given to public opinion—that is, to the deliberate and settled judgment of the country, not to the demands of a party in the House of Commons, just heavy enough to turn the scale of office. But, to make all this sure, Whiggery must be allowed a little while longer to develope itself in the public disgust. The national opinion must be left to com plete its proper fermentation. Already the real character of the Whigs is pretty generally known among the think ing part of the community—known and mourned by thousands and tens of thousands, who, on the formation of the Whig Ministry, in 1830, gave them credit for much of the talent they arrogated, and most of the virtue they professed. But light is a quick traveller, and is fast spreading to the eyes of other and innumerable multi tudes, who were long content to slumber in confidence, but who wake with a bound when at last the broad shame comes staring in their faces. A little while longer and what is already general will have grown universal ; and the constituencies of England, except those few which the authors of the Reform Bill patched up and boundarized to fit the particular influences of their own magnates, will banish the Whigs from Parliament to their proper Pande monium at the " Hole-in-the-Wall." Then there will be no more possibility of effective unions between Whig Mem bers and Radical Members, Whig ex-Ministers and Irish Repealers, treacherous Protestants and thorough-sworn Papists ; then the agitators of the State and the foes of the Church will be condemned to the penance of quiet, and Government and Legislation, no longer warped by British mobs or Irish hordes, will harmonize once more in the Sovereign, the Lords, and the Commons of the realm. —Times. Mr. Roebuck, described by the Spectator as the recog nised agent of the House of Assembly . of Lower Canada in Parliament, who " rema i ns fi rm in h i s adherence to his de feated friends, after all hopes or probability of an advocate's honorarium has vanished," has addressed the first of a series of letAers to that pap er on L or d D ur h am ' s adminis tration . in Canada. Mr. Roebuck professes to give no or.nton on Lord Durham's plans for the future government Ot our North American colonies, which will, he supposes, be laid before Parliament on his return ; but as the purpose of his mission was twofold, first to allay dis content, to restore harmony, and, if possible, to bring back the people to a state of attachment to the mother coun try ; and, secondly, to provide securities for future good government, he lays it down that the last of these objects could not be effected without the attainment of the first. The purport of Mr. Roebuck's letter is to show that Lord Durham acted in such a manner as pre vented him from securing the attachment of the French Canadians, and the inference we are left to draw is, that, let his plans be what they may, they can b e but of little avai l to Lower Canada. Lord Durh am , we are told, on his arr ival found all law prisons filled with persons ac cused of high treason. He might either have said , let the past be forgotten, and those who are in exile or in prison re turn to their homes, or he might have restored the j ust jt a n lendr nteo. jury law that had expired, re instated the law, opened the b tribunals, sainrd e p b u n Cebo the military despotism exerc ise But instead of this, without trial, he y ranged the accused into various classes, sent some to Bermuda, banished othersothers during the pleasure of the Governor , and permitted to remain in Canada on giving security for their future good behaviour. Lord Durham wished neither to pack juries nor to suffer a mockery of justice through the means of partisan jurors. The result of the trial in the case of Chartrand sufficiently demonstrates that a fair and impar tial trial by jury was not to be expected in Lower Canada. But, then, to punish men arbitrarily can only be justified by necessity, and Mr. Roebuck denies that any such neces sity existed : " I assert," die says, " and I demand proof to the contrary, that no danger would have arisen had M. Papineau and hi' fr*isis been fairly tried ; I assert that the residence of these THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1838. reiterated. We publish this address, but shall, however, make no further commentary on it, as we have strong hope that the address from Great Britain will operate a favourable change, at least in this respect, in the opinion of the Irish people.—Morning Advertiser. It seems to he generally understood, that in a little more than two months, the Parliament will meet. The public already look forward with no slight interest to the deve lopment of political circumstances at that period. Al-, though the statements which have appeared in various quarters, of changes in some of the departments of the Ad ministration, have probably very little claim, or no claim at all, to confidence ; yet it is but a reasonable s upposition that some important changes will occur, because affairs cannot well continue to go on as they have been going on for the last two years. The complexion of the times calls for an other sort of policy. A bolder and a more decisive tone must be assumed by the Government. It seems to be be coming every day less and less practicable that a Ministry should trim its course between the Radicals and the Con servatives—the two great parties in the state, of whom one desires to overthrow, and the other to preserve, the most important institutions of religion and civil polity which exist in this country. The direct conflict between these parties must come. It is possible to conceive the existence of a Ministry of moderate views, but strollg in talents and in character, holding on its way between these parties by maintaining the respect of both. Such a Ministry, however, the present is not. From neither party does it obtain a particle of respect. It has no such thing as a dis tinctive political character. It has, indeed, no character at all, but that of an Administration willing to do whatever it can for the sake of remaining in power as long as it can. It is only while affairs are comparatively quiet, and the parties on either side are gatheriner their strength, that such a Ministry can live. We think it is tolerably evident that the time has cisme, or is now at hand, when such a Ministry cannot live. It must change its character, and as it is not likely that it can do so without a change of m en , we may fairly expect personal changes as well as poli tical. We do not, however, forget that since what is now called by all parties, rather in sarcasm than in seriousness, the " Reform" of the House of Commons, a class of senators has sprung into existenac upon whom no sense of the political state of the nation can be supposed to make any impression. We mean such men as the Baineses, the Brothertons, the Brodies, and the like—dull coarse men, who mean well enough perhaps as to public affairs, and possibly might judge well enough of some street or parish business, but who are incapable of wideness of view, or strength of feeling, upon any political subject. Such men as these will follow the Minister they have been ac customed to follow, just as the beadle of a parish follows the ChUrchwrirden. They cannot taste of the national sentiment, more than a wooden pump can taste the water in which it is plunged. The more dull a Minister happens to be, the more level is he to their apprehension, and they have no capacity of discernment between a mean management of affairs and an able direction of them. Upon these any Government calling itself " Liberal" may perhaps count under• any circumstances, but granting to the present Ministry this band of Bceotians, who will be with them from their dullness, and the O'Connell-tail men who trill be with them for a " con-sid-er-a-tion," as old Trapbuis had it, still it is in the highest degree impro bable that in the present temper of the nation, and under the present aspect of affairs, they should 13,.! suffered to creep and stumble along as hitherto they have done. We therefore anticipate change. It is scarcely possible but that some of the Ministers have already made up their minds that an important change must take place, but, te nacious as they all are of office, and unused to make any self-sacrifice, it may very possibly happen that they will wait to take the chance of events after Parliament meets, and allow themselves to be governed as it were by its di rection. But even so, they still must calculate upon the change taking place, though they cannot determine exactly what it will be, and with all their genius for submission to events, they will find it hard to escape something like a de claration of purpose at the opening of the session. No doubt they will be very little scrupulous of backing o ut of that declaration afterwards, if it be found officially inexpedient to abide by it, but in the meantime it will have to be made, and will not be without its effect. If the leader of the House of Commons be as de cidedly Conservative in his tone at the opening of the next session, as he was at the opening of the last, the change which time and circumstances have worked in the strength and temper of the Radical body out of Parliament, since this time twelve months, will intobably lead that party into direct opposition. If on the -other hand the Minister makes declarations with a view of conciliating the Radi cals, he must speak out pretty broadly the language of re volution ; in which case he will bring down upon him the force of a Conservative opposition which he could not long r.sist, and will hasten the crisis when England must decide for or against the institutions under which she has politi cally lived and thriven, since the Protestant revolution of 1688. Under all the circumstances of the time and the country, the more probable course of Ministers in Parlia ment, will be towards Conservatism. They will consider that they have a much better chance from the forbearance of that party, than from the impatience of the Radicals, Should this course be taken, it will throw a very delicate as well as heavy responsibility upon the Conservative leaders which it will be well for them thoroughly to reflect upon before the event.—Morning Post. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF Q UEENS BENCH, Nov. 3. THE QUEEN V. DEIGHTON. Sir W. FOLLETT showed cause against a rule obtained for a criminal information against the defendant for publishing a libel upon Mr. Foster, an Alderman of Cambridge, and v . 'ho had recently held the office of Mayor of that town. The libel in queoion, which the Learned Counsel read, was contained in a Cambridge newspaper, in which it was alleged that scarcely a meeting of the Town-council passed without some assertion of Mr. Foster's being denied; that he had made assertions which gentlemen of known veracity had flatly denied; that his assertions were not to be accounted for on the score of forgetfulness, for that he was never known to be forgetful of what related to his own interest; and then it went on to relate the well-known anecdote that one poor mar, had told another that when a poor man stole a leg of mutton it was called a robbery, but that if a rich man was to do so it would be called idiosyncrasy ; and applying this anecdote, it said, so in a Mayor, that which in common people would be called a habit of lying, was with him to be called an idiosyncrasy. Tile Learned Counsel contended that these statements were hardly to be called libels requiring the summary interference of the Court in the way of a criminal information. But if they were so, then the application was answered. The affidavit of Mr. Foster denied the irnputat . cast on him, but the affidavits filed in opposition to the rule would show that they were well founded. These affidavits stated three occasions (the Learned Counsel read the state ments at full length) on which assertions of Mr. Foster had been denied at the meetings of the Town Council. They, therefore, contended that Mr. Foster was not in a situation to ask to have this rule made absolute. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in support of the rule, con tended that no anawer whatever had been given to the appli- cation. Lord DENMAN—In the exercise of our discretion on matters of this sort, we think that this rule should be discharged on payment of costs. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—But if the costs are not paid then to be absolute. Lord DENMAN—Yes, then to be absolute.

With fourteen thousand troops at his disposal, what had he to fear ? If he say that he feared the influence of M. Papineau upon the minds of his countrymen, I tell him that influence is as great as ever; while by his injustice be has destroyed his own only chance of gaining the confidence and esteem of the Canadian people. I assert fearlessly—and the time must come when Lord Durham will have to disprove what I say—that this breach of one of the most sacred rules of justice was unne cessary, therefore unwise, therefore immoral. It is not for me to show that my assertions are true ; it will be the duty of Lord Durham, having regard for his own character and for the opinion of the people of England, to show that they are false. No people ought to put such faith in any ruler as to permit him, without severe scrutiny, to make an assault upon the very foundations of morality and law. Washington would have blushed to have asked for such confidence ; Lord Durham should tremble to think that he needs it." Such are the weighty reasons adduced to prove that Lord Durham could have done no good in Canada. Now really the French Canadians ought not to carry matters with such a high hand, considering the forbearance with which they have been treated throughout. The prisons were, it is true, filled on the arrival of Lord Durham ; but when did it ever before happen in the history of the world that an insurrection was suppressed in such a way as to afford room for Mr. Roebuck's complaint? We do not wish now to go into the question between the French in Lower Canada and the Government. We may, however, say this much, that whatever the case might once have been, there had been no indisposition of late years to re medy any ascertained grievances ; and the attempt at in surrection-on the part of the French Canadians was not only unjustifiable in itself, but foolish in the extreme. It is quite clear, however, that there never was less evidence shown of a disposition to shed blood. It cannot be said of the victors in Canada, as was said of those in a rebellion in our island— " Yet when the rage of battle ceased The victor's soul was not appeased ;" for, short of absolute impunity, it would be difficult to point out a more lenient course than that adopted towards the parties implicated in the Canadian rebellion. We really do not think that Governments are particularly called on to encourage rebellion, though, from the manner in which some persons speak of what has taken place in Canada, it would almost appear as if the insurgents deserved the thanks of Parliament, and those who contributed to sup. press it were guilty of a crime. It is quite forgotten by Mr. Roebuck that besides the Nation Canadienne there are in Lower Canada 150,000 men of British origin, to whom something was also due by Lord Durham. Mr. Roebuck, however, puts the feelings of the British altogether out of consideration. Had Lord Durham opened the pri son doors and recalled the exiles, how would the British have felt ? it would be rather a hazardous speculation to conciliate the French Canadians by proceedings which must to the British have been saying, we do not thank you for your exertions to suppress this insurrection. We •must have some better assurance of the good dispositions of the French Canadians towards this country before we proceed to give them what would amount to little less than a triumph over the British. Lord Dur ham acted wisely, as events have proved, under the diffi cult circumstances in which he was placed. The banish ment to Bermuda would not have been perpetual, and as soon as he felt persuaded that no injury would result from the presence in Canada of the banished, there can be no doubt they would have been suffered to return. It is quite possible that some of the persons accused of treasonable practices may have been accused on insufficient evidence ; but the mildness of the punishment, and the magnitude of the object which Lord Durham had in view, form a suf ficient justification of his conduct. There can be little doubt that any injustice done to individuals would have been cheerfully redressed. Where life is taken there is no remedy ; but the punishment inflicted by Lord Durham alloa cd a remedy. However, it is useless wasting time in discussing the means necessary to conciliate the French Canadians. What is wanted is a plan for preventing the mis chievous collisions which have taken place, and rendering the provinces really available for British settlers. One measure which is essentially necessary trill not be accept able to the French Canadians, for it will strike at the roots of their nationality.—Morting Chronicle. A few days since we published " An Address from the Refer viers of England, Scotland, and Wales, to the Irish People"--a document claiming the gravest consideration on account of the numbers by whom its sentiments are sanctioned, and entitled to the highest respect from the soundness of its opinions and the deliberate, we might say dignified, style in which those opinions are expressed. The address is apposite and appropriate, worthy alike of those from whom it emanates, and of those to whom it is ad dressed. Without directly alluding to the charge of being actuated by feelings of hostility towards Ireland, it gives that charge the most conclusive refutation by the solicitude evinced to effect a cordial union between the Reformers of the two countries, for the promotion of those measures on the success of which essentially depend the prosperity and safety of both divisions of the United Kingdom. We trust, notwithstanding the unaccountable anxiety of Mr. O'Con nell to establish his accusation against the English people of being hostile to the people of Ireland, that this solicitude will meet a ready and hearty response from every Irish man capable of distinguishing between a steady, consistent, and determined pursuit of general practical good and a vacil lating course of action, dependent on individual caprice or individual interests. Concurring in the opinion we have so earnestly endeavoured to impress on the public mind, that almost all the grievances afflicting both countries have origin and perpetuation in the absence of a due represen tation of the people in the Legislature, the address empha tically urges a general combination for the abolition of " exclusive legislation." The justice of the following ob servations is irrefutable : " We can readily imagine that the oppression and injustice you have received through the Legislature of Britain, have aroused your feeling and deeply rooted your suspicions against our country. But we would urge you to remember that we, too, have shared in the injustice—we have been reciprocally taxed to oppress, and drilled to enslave each other, and are still united victims of the same cause which plunders, op presses, and blights the happiness of both countries—the curse of exclusive legislation. This, we feel convinced, is the great source of all our oppression ; ignorance, immorality, po verty, and crime, have their origin, positively or negatively, in " exclusive legislation ;" for, as long as exclusive interests are made the basis of law and government, so long will exclusive measures be supported at the sacrifice of peace, happiness, and virtue. " Therefore it is to this one point especially we would direct your attention ; nay, we would urge you. to inquire whether you can trace the numerous evils you complain of to this bane ful origin. Who but your own exclusive legislators sold your country ? and who but the exclusive legislators of England pro fited by the blood-cemented bargain ? Your own legislators, corrupted by the gold, and cankered by the patronage of Bri tain, rendered your domestic Legislature a mere puppet of its will ; there it was where landed supremacy predominated, and English interests swayed, till eventually perfidy concluded the bargain your own corrupt Legislature had begun." ForciVe as is the general language of the address, there is a total absence of every thing like passionate declama tion ; reason only is appealed to, and invoked with an im pressive eloquence, which, while attesting the sincerity of its professions, affords in its intellectual ability the best guarantee for the consummation of its objects. By the perfect appreciation evinced of the theory and practice of political science, and of the paramount influence exercised by institutions on the social, moral, and physical condition of nations, is advanced the strongest proof of those concurs ing in the address being fully capable of exercising the rights which they demand in a manner conducive to the general good. The following remarks are peculiarly appli cable to the time : " We have not, neither do we desire, leaders; as we believe the principles we advocate have been retarded, injured, or be trayed by leadership, more than by the open hostility of oppo nents. Leadership too often generates confiding bigotry of 'political indifference on the one hand, and selfish ambition of the other. The principles we advocate are those of tin people's happiness, and, to be justly established, each man muss know and feel his rights and duties ; he must be prepared ti guard the one, and perform with cheerfulness the other ; au' if nature has gi ven to one man superior facu l t i es to ex press of execute mandate the of f h general t b w r i e s n h_, h h e e is on t l h y e performs his duty Of e One hundred and ten signaturel equal of all." signatures, d e c a l- c h o f r e n p o r n e e s , en b t u i n t g t h different Association of Reformers, have already been at tachedthe combinationto the all p a thetta ofthe numbers ked kingdom, and whatever reception the add ress may receive from the peo ple of Ireland, its supporters will not be denied attention within the walls of Parliament, as is thus intimated at the conclusion But, fellow -countrymen.—Whil e we are desirous of your aid we shall not despair without it: our cause is strong in proportion as it i s j ust , an d our numbers will swell in propor tion as our enemies oppose us.

CASE of the NAVAL LIEUTENANTS To the Most Noble, the Right Honourable, and the Hon ourable Commissioners appointed by our Most Illustrious and benevolent Quen, " to inquire into the several modes of Promotion and Retirement, now authorised and granted to the Officers of her Majesty's Naval and Military Forces, for ascertaining the comparative situation of the Officers in each branch, and for reporting whether, due regard being had to economy and to the efficiency of the Service, it may be practicable and expedient to make any, and what changes in the present system." TILE MEMORIAL OF THE LIEUTENANTS OF HER MAJASTY'S FLEET. MOST HUMBLY SHE WETII— That. your memorialists 1)z leave most gratefully to express their gratitude for the benevolent intentions of her moat gra cious Majesty, in the appointment of your Right Hon. Board, upon vi hose impartial consideration of their various grievances they rely with entire confidence. Your memorialists complain that they possess no right to promotion, let their services be ever so long or brilliant ; nor can they claim employment, be their abilities ever so efficient. Coronation and general promotions, so far from being a benefit, have proved the fruitful source of extensive annoyance ; in fact, the naval officer is the only servant of the Crown who is unable to maintain a right, or claim a privilege; whereas the captains in the army, who do not purchase their commissions, have constantly in view the rank of General Officer, of which nothing can deprive them but the visitation of Almighty God ; and their rights and privileges are so clearly defined as to defy mistake. Your memorialists also complain of the anomalies attached to their retirement; only the first hundred upon the list of Lieutenants, out of 3,159, are allowed to retire with the rank of Commander, the junior of whom had held his com mission 42 years, independent of previous servitude—some for long periods of rears in the inferior grades; and they are amongst the oldest officers in the navy, not even ex cepting the flags; yet they receive the smallest half-pay given to any commander, less than the youngest brevet Major ; and their widows receive 101. per annum less pension than either. By the King's Order in Council of the Ist. November, 1830, it was provided that 300 of the senior Lieutenants might retire with the rank of Commander ; but only 179 have availed themselves of this extraordinary boon, the junior of whom has been 33 years upon the list of Lieutenants, besides previous servitude in the inferior grades. These 179 officers still continue upon the half-pay list of Lieute nants, thereby depriving 358 Lieutenants of ls. per diem, directed to be paid by the King's Order in Council at the close of the war. These retired Commanders receive the half pay of the youngest Captains in the army, and their widows 201. per annum less than the brevet Major. It has been assumed by men in authority, that these retired Commanders obtained what they asked for, viz , rank, without pay—this we deny and challenge proof. Out of the next 800 Lieu tenants, there is only one employed in the line for promo. tion. During the whole of the war the commands of small vessels were always given to old officers, and your memorialists could name a goodly list of those who obtained promotion for the successful discharge of their duties while so employed. Of this advantage the old war officers have been deprived, during the last six years; besides which, the Lieutenants in command have been deprived of one-half of their emolument, l i without one single penny as an equivalent. The comparative situation of your memorialists with their own rank in the army is so anomalous, that it could not be accredited without examination. The Naval Lieutenant is constantly upon guard—the safety of the ship and lives of the crew depend nightly upon his watchful eye and ever-ready resources, which experience alone can afford in the moment of difficulty. When he requires leave of absence from sea going ships, he must go upon half-pay ;if overtaken by dis ease —the effects of excessive duty in a sickly climate—he is immediately in' elided upon half-pay, and must incur consider able expense ; when in action, or shipwrecked, with the loss of everything, he is not remunerated nor paid one penny for his loss; when recovered, it may be years before he can get another ship—if an old officer, never. He is unable to pro vide for a son in his own profession from the great expense and the insuperable difficulties he has to contend with in ob taining for him a commission, and his deprivation of his gra tuitous education and clothing at the Naval College. For many generations naval officers suffered a deduction of threepence out of every twenty shillings received from the Government, whether upon full or half-pay, to be appro pi iated exclusively to a pension for their widows ; this deduc tion has been discontinued ; but the lieutenant must be ten complete years as such before his widow can receive one penny, even should he die whilst employed in the most un healthy climates. It becomes important, then, that the navy should have some statement of this accumulated wealth, and know how it has been expended; for the captains in the army, who do not purchase their commissions, never subscribe one shilling for a pension to their widows, nor undergo one day's probation to entitle them to it. Captains in the army can always be upon tull pay, and ob tain one, two, or three years' leave of absence at a time, enjoying their full pay ; and when returning from our colo nies, through ill health, their comforts are attended to, without expense on their parts ; every loss by battle or ship wreck is fully paid for; with very little difficulty, compara tively, they can obtain commissions, in their own corps, for sons who may be qualified; end if o bli g ed to retire from the service for a few years, they can return to it again, with the advantage of every brevet which has taken place during their absence. The full as well as the half-pay of Naval Lieutenants is di vided into three classes, viz., when first of line-of-battle ships 1501. per annum ; all others, 1201. ; and when serving with a flag, 6d. per diem, flag pay ; when employed in civil depart s of the navy , 2001. per annum is about the maxi mum ; w hereas Innt the Captain of the Marine Artillery , with the rank of Brevet-Major, when embarked on board a line-of-battle ship, will receive 237/. ; when the First Lieutenant of the Ma rineyears' standing. is embarked on b oar d a " Artillery, seven frigate, he receives 1431 ; the Naval First Lieutenant of the ,ame ship, his superior officer, only 1201. ; Captains of Ma rines, who hold the situations of Ass;stant Deputy Adjutant- General, receive 5381. ; Paymaster, 4281 ; Barrack -matter, 3191. ; First Lieutenants of the Marine Artillery, whe , i above seven years' standing, receive as Adjutants 2621. ; Quarter malters, 2281. All Captains in the Army of 1825 are Brevet M ajors. Captains of Marines have received honorary distinctions for their services in the navy—the naval lieutenants, their equals in rank, and seniors on board ship, never. With respect to half-pay, the first class, whose junior is of thirty-three years standing, only receive 7s. per diem ; the second class, whose junior is twenty-six years' standing, receive 6 s . ; the remainder ss. many of them after a servitude of twenty years as midshipman and mate. Your memorialists will not enter into the details of the many minor grievances to which they are subject, but conclude with a hope that your Right Honourable Board will be im pressed with the belief that the true efficiency and economy of the natal service can never exist apart from justice ; and they humbly pray that the Lieutenants of her Maiesty's navy may be placed in all respects on an equality with officers of the rank in the Royal Marines, Artillery, and Engineers. And your memorialists will ever pray. At a numerous meeting of Lieutenants of the Royal Navy, held at Devenport, on the 30rh of October, 1638, George Field, Somerville, Esq., Lieut., R.N., in the chair. Moved by Chas. M'Kenzie, Lieut., 40 years, seconded by Lieut. Digby : It was resolved—That as our illustrious and benevolent Queen has, in her Majesty's wisdom, seen fit to. appoint a Commission to inquire into the several modes of promotion, retirement, and comparative situation of each branch of her naval and military forces, it therefore becomes the duty of the naval Lieutenants to furnish the Commission, by memorial, with a statement of their most prominent grievances. Moved by Lieutenant W. H. Symons, senior mate of Lord Nelson's ship at Trafalgar; Seconded by Lieutenant R. Coates:— It was also resolved—That the memorial now laid before the meeting he adoped, as calculated to attain the objects we have in view ;---that printed copies be transmitted, by our Chairman, to the Right Hon. the Earl of Minto, G. C. 8., and to each of the other Commissioners of the Admiralty, re spectfully and earnestly soliciting their Lordships' support of its prayer. That the Chairman be requested to transmit to the Secre tary of the Commission, as soon as convenient, a copy of the n;emorial, signed by himself, in behalf of our brother officers who may approve of it by their signatures. That printed copies be circulated amongst our brethren as freely as possible ; and that the memorial, so signed, be pre sented to the Commission by the Lieutenant who may be summoned before them for examination. Several Lieutenants who assisted in the battle of Trafalgar, were present. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET TJOUGHTON MEETING. SATURDAY.-CONCLUDED. Owing to the coldness of the weather, the attendance was less numerous than on the two preceding days; the sport, however, which consisted solely of matches, was excellent. The following are particulars :- Match, 100. T. Y. C.-Duke of Richmond's Guava, a feather (Howlett), beat Mr. Thornhill's Sainfoin, 9st. Betting-2 to lon Saintfoin, who WAS never able to reach the filly, and was beaten in a canter by four lengths. Howlett rode something near four stone, making a difference of five stone, both being of tins. same year. Match, 500, p.p. T.M.M.-Lord Suffield's Caravan, Bst. 101 b. (Robinson), beat Lord G. Bentinck's Grey Momus, 7st. 91b. Betting-Grey Momus had the call at first, but his friends were so unusually shy that the market turned, and in the end 2 to 1 was laid on Caravan, with few takers. The race admits of no detail, for Caravan had won it in the first quarter of a mile, and passed the chair ten lengths a-head. It was clear that the rey was not up to the mark. Match, 200, h. ft. First half or Ab. M. Mr. Rayner's Minima, Bst. 91b Robinson 0 Duke of Richmond's Vave of Belvoir, Bst. 31b 0 Betting-5 to 4on Minima ; a beautifully contested race ended in a dead heat. Match, 50. T. Y.C.-Mr. Bond's Maid of the Mill, 7st. 41b. (Pavis), beat Major Graham's Bodice, 7st. 111 b. Betting-7 to 2on Maid of the Mill, who took the lead, kept it, and won in a canter by two lengths. Match, 50. A. F.-Mr. Rayner's Quo Minus, Bst. 51b. (Ro binson), beat Mr. Shelley's Bay Hampton, 7st. 121 b. Betting-3 and 4tol on Quo Minus, who waited into the Dip, went up, and won easy. Match, 25. T. Y.C.-Mr. Newton's Vacuna, Bst. 71b. (Robin son), beat Lord G. Bentinck's Ratsbane, Brother to Muley Moloch Bst. 41b. Betting-Even on Vacuna, who won by a head, after a splendid race. • Match, 25. D.M.-Mr. Bond's Sir Felix, Bst. 101 b. (Pavis), beat Major Graham's Bodice, 9st. 51b. Betting-5 to 2on Sir Felix ; a good race between two bad horses, and won by a neck only. Match, 25. I'. Y. C.-Captain Berkeley's Hilda, Bst. 61b. (Pavis. beat Mr. Bruce's Retaliator, Bst. 101 b. Betting-3 to lon Hilda, who won in a canter.

A.F.-Mr. Shelley's Paraguay, Bst. 51b., received forfeit from Mr. Adams's Anne, 7st. 1011)7 Match, 50. D. M. Bst. 71b. each.-Colonel Peel's Paganini re ceived forfeit from Mr. Ford's Quo Minus. FRIDAY. The matches were won so easy as to render any additional parti culars unnecessary. The Nursery Stakes (confessedly one of the best handicaps ever known), and the Audley End Stakes, require a few details. Nursery Stakes.-After an immense number of false starts, Re trospect, Drogheda, and Alms, went off in front, Retrospect lead ing, and the rest lying as close up as possible, They continued in this order to the end, Retrospect winning by a head, and Drogheda and Alms making a dead heat for second place. Bustle was not more than a head behind these two, and defeated Hyllus by a neck only. Marchesa was close behind, and Lord Lichfield's two beaten off. This, we believe, is the first race Mr. Newton has won, al though he has kept horses for a great number of years. Audley End Stakes.-Adrian made play at his best pace to the turn of the lands, where Joannina took the lead from him, followed by Morella at a respectful distance, had all the rest of the race to herself, and won by three lengths, hard held; very definite tailing behind her. The Derby betting after the races was quite brisk at the follow ing prices:- 10 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Brother to Bay Middleton 17 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Ilderim 17 to 1 agst Mr. Wreford's Westonian 17 to 1 agst Duke of Rutland's Flambeau 25 to 1 agst Lord Lichfield's Gulnare colt-taken 25 to 1 agst Duke of Richmond's Bulwark 25 to 1 agst 'Mr. Boyce's Boz 30 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Accelerator-taken 30 to 1 agst Mr. Worrell's Antler-taken 30 to 1 agst Lord Chesterfield's Bloomsbury 33 to 1 agst Lord Suffield's Vernon 50 to 1 agst Mr. Batson's Brother to Plenipo 3000 to 60 agst Mr. Allen's Fitz-Ambo-taken 1000 to 15 agst Mr. Mostyn's Hugh Lupus-taken several times 1000 to 15 agst Mr. Wreford's Wapite-taken very freely 1000 to 15 agst each of Sir G.

The weather was cold and gloomy, with one or two slight showers ; on the whole, however, it was tolerably favourable ; the company was large, and the sport plentiful enough to satisfy a glutton. LATEST BETTING AT MANCHEST DERBY BETTING. 11 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Brother to Bay Middleton 16 to 1 agst Mr. WrefOrd's Westonian 17 to ragst Duke of Rutland's Flambeau—taken freely 25 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Ilderim—taken freely 25 to I agst Mr. Wreford's Wapite—taken 100 to 6 agst All the fillies 25 to 1 agst Sir G.

Tile water stood on the course more than three feet deep. AQUATICS. GRAND ROWING MATCH. —The great contest between Charles Hill, of Hungerford, and John Kelly, of Fulham, took place on Saturday, and, considering that the time of year is ill adapted for aquatic displays, was very well attended. These men are next in celebrity to Campbell, the champion, and Coombes, who rowed against him last Thursday. Hill won the sovereigns given by the Leander and other clubs some weeks since, when Coombes by accident rowed into the flag boat, and Kelly has been twice pitted against Coombes within the last month. Betting had been at first in favour of Kelly, but as the time approached for the start it was even. They came to their stations at Westminster Bridge a few minutes before three o'clock, Hill taking the inside place on the Mid dlesex shore. They went away scull and scull together, but ere their arrival at the Horseferry Kelly rowed right on to his opponent (fouling being allowed). There was considerable generalship displayed by both men, but Kelly seemed deter mined not to leave his man. Hill, however, got free of him at the Penitentiary, and rowed right away. Kelly worked hard to overtake him, but with no effect. Hill was about two lengths a-head off the Eagle and continued to gain in each succeeding stroke, arriving at Putney Bridge about two hundred yards a-head of his opponent. The winner rowed in Mr. Coign houn's boat, built fer the silver sculls contest. THE DUKE OF BUCCLEUGH.—The silly stuff put forward by some of the Scotch papers, that the reasons of the Duke of Beceleuch's leaving this for the Continent are from pecuniary difficulties, would be almost too contemptible to notice if they had not been echoed by those journals that should have known better. His Grace, we are assured, has at least ten millions sterling available money, besides the immense rental of his large estates, totally unencumbered. Under these circumstances, could 47,0001., expended in the way de scribed, cause his Grace to leave England ?—Edinburgh Paper. RAILWAY SERVANTS,—SeveraI paragraphs are in circulation containing complaints of incivility on the part of the servants of the Railway Companies, and of oilier griev ances. A prompt remedy, we are assured, is easily attainable by any aggrieved party who will take the trouble to forward to the Directors any well-grounded complaint. Every servant has a distinct number on his dress, by which he may be iden tified ; and the Directors are anxious to prevent every cause of dissatisfaction, and to promote the comfort and convenience of travellers as far as possible.—Birmingham Gazette. THE BUSHRANGERS.—HOBART-TOWN, JUNE 26.—0 n Thursay morning, Atterell, Regan, and Banks, underwent the last dreadful sertence of the law. Davis was reprieved upon the recommendation of his Honour the Chief Justice. Regan and Banks were Catholics, and were et tended by the Bishop's visitor, the Reverend Mr. Therry. Regan is said to have been pe.fectly unreserved in giving full details of every occurrence before and after his taking to the bush. There is nothing authentic as respects the Bushrangers at large on the other side the island, but they are closely pursued, and will no doubt be soon in custody.__ Murray's Review. THE DARLINGS.—The Royal National Institution f o r the Preservation of Lives from Shipwreck have announced to Mr. Robert Plummer, of this town, that they have voted the silver medal of the institution to W. Darling and his daughter, Grace Horseley Darling, in testimony of their laud able exertians in behalf of the crew and passengers of the Furfarshire steamer, recently wrecked on the Fern Islands. The institution have also subscribed the sum of 10/. in aid of t h e g, nrrai fund now raising, for the DA.lings and the boatmen of Sunderland, who exerted themselves so meritoriously on the awful occasion. —Newcastle Journal.
